At present all flights out of Baghdad are fully booked for the next 3 weeks and cost is 4 times than normal.My friends who are working in security there are working on evacuation plans to get their clients out. The Australian govt have just sent special forces soldiers there to guard their embassy and are advising any Australians there to leave.
It is not a safe place to be right now as the situation could change from bad to worse at any time.

If you can avoid going to Baghdad... do so!
